Being on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team is definitely one of the most fun and pleasant experiences that I have ever had in the card making/craft world. The MFT crew and Susan have made it so easy for us all with clear instructions and ample time for us to finish our projects. And that makes me a happy crafter. =) Thank you so much to MFT and Susan for choosing me as one of the "one and only" (read more about it here) MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team members. I am also so grateful to have met and get to know a group of uber talented ladies and have become lifelong friends with them. I can't thank you enough for that along, Susan! And for the readers that have come and leave me comments on my MFT posts, I am so grateful for your support! I am hoping to create all my projects with as much love and enthusiasm as I have been this last year and hope you will still come by in the coming year! =)

Happy Monday, all! =) In this week's blog hop the RG team is featuring a new collection called Noteworthy. Richard gave these classic vintage elements a modern spin and created an awesome collection!

I think I have said this before, but really, Richard's hand lettered sentiments are to die for! =)

After embossing one of them with gold glitter embossing powder, I stamped the rest with Fun Stampers Journey's River Stone ink. I used both first and second generation inking to the get variation of colors.

The Noteworthy patterned paper is also from this new collection. I finished the card with a few pieces of Japanese washi tapes and embellishments from my stash.

The Noteworthy collection is a great for connecting with family and friends. I think this is a collection that is perfect for some masculine as well as chic projects! =) You can enter to win the above pictured Noteworthy stamps/dies, Washi Tape Stickers and paper pack by completing the following steps:
